This single entered Billboard R&B chart, then called the Hot Black Singles, the week of 7/15/89 and peaked at #79 but did not make the Hot 100, also known as the pop chart, according to the invaluable book "Top R&B/Hip-Hop Singles 1942-2004" by Joel Whitburn. Interestingly, Breeze, whose given name is Morgan Rodriguez, was born not on the West Coast but in Harlem. Who would've guessed it?
Summer 1989, Huntington, New York was a great place for hip hop music and YO! MTV RAPS! "L A Posse" was without an exception. Dudes with their boomboxes dancing in the King Kullen parking lot off New York Avenue while that was playing is undeniably the FRESHest!
Whatta A classic video Trakk -I- actually heard this one time mixed on the decks on 103.3 JAMZ back in October of 89 just got my drivers license the dj actually scratached the instruemental first for a good 3 minutes whatta a treat it was FRESH!
i still get confused. i used to think the Mikey D-Johnny Quest-LA Posse was from Cali until a good friend of mine pointed out the LA is for Laurelton, Queens.
but now: ain't this the same Breeze who rocked with King T and Ice Cube on the "Played Like a Piano" joint--and murdered his verse, at that? i'm wondering is this is a different "LA Posse" than Mikey D's crew. i'll check it out further after posting this. peace
There were TWO LA Posse's 1 from the east and 1 from the west but the OG is from the west.Breeze is from the Cali LA posse. We met them east coast cat back in 89 in NY.They were cool during the New Music Seminar.
@lefsyde LA posse....was the Laurleton Queens Posse w/Playboy Mikey D...LL's former rhyme partner. The other LA posse was Bobcat and Dwayne SIMON WHO PRODUCED LL's album Jam Master Jay named them....
ayo this has all the essential ingredience for a classic hip hop song and video...
1.) hot lyrics
2.) bangin track with crazy funk loops and bass
3.) cat's reppin they hood to the fullest
4.) and the dancin is bananas!!! ( check dude in the back with the white pants, he was dancin his ass off yo!!! lol'z ) this is timeless hip hop right here, shout out to Breeze and the L.A. Posse....California stand the fuck up!!!!!
that was the shitness. The cat in the back with the white pants on is discoing his ass off. We need to get back to this type of rap. Nothing against Soulja Boy but his shit is so wack
Damn, loved this song back in the day & was lookin' to download on Limwire but no such luck as with "pay ya dues" by Low Profile. Funny watching it cause the models back then were, shall we say "sub par", LOL. But none the less, very much a classic vid.
yo goodlookin for putting this video up. i remember when it first came out and loaned my tape out & havent been able to find it since . this is the first time i heard it in over16 years. goodlookin
Alot of people dont remember this I know it from the video and these cats killin it with the dance moves.......hell the lyrics was tyte as heck too. Ol skool 4eva
Hey - THANK YOU so much for putting up this video. I've been looking for it ever since I saw them on Yo! with F.F.Freddy way back when! You've made my day!
$30! Damn, I don't know if it's that good! It's got a few dope tracks on it. I need to convert some of my old tapes to cd like the Breeze and also Fila Fresh Crew!
nice' i should get something for rippin' tapes, I got Act A Fool on cassette but i don't have a cassette player anymore so the only King Tee I can listen to is from my Ruff Rhymes CD
yeah i should get one, but i also like collectin' CD's, I got a massive stack of westcoast oldschool rap, gangsta rap, g-funk, underground, horror-core and 70's-80's funk. Funk i can buy for $3-5, it's the oldschool, g-funk and horror-core that are so damn expensive, mostly the oldschool. hahaha $120 for Act A Fool, someone accually bought it, i was waitin for the price to go down and if people are buyin CD's for $120 i'm never gonna get it
wow. i got lots of old school rap cds as well. a little funk. tons of drum and bass and dancehall. i also have many 12" old school rap singles. Those are cool too with the different mixes, accapella, instrumental etc.
This shit goes HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Classic!
